Presented by the Eisenhower Presidential Library & Museum and the Midwest Center for Holocaust Education in partnership with the Lowell Milken Center and the Harry S. Truman Library & Museum.
Join us for a fascinating week-long workshop for educators June 7 – 11, 2010. The workshop will explore the themes presented in Eisenhower and The Righteous Cause: The Liberation of Europe opening May 24, 2010 at the Eisenhower Museum.
This workshop will explore the Holocaust with a special focus on liberation and aftermath, including the displaced persons camps, the creation of Israel, and the Nuremburg Trials. Workshop participants will experience the museum exhibit in depth, will consider how best to teach these Holocaust-related topics, and will discover a wealth of educational resources— with emphasis on primary source materials. Finally, participants will receive instruction on how to create unique lessons and projects which emphasize the importance of teaching respect and understanding for all people.
Following the weeklong workshop, participants are invited to engage in a week of primary research in the archives of the Eisenhower Presidential Library & Museum for the purpose of researching and developing the lesson plan, richly integrated with primary source material.
Registration cost is $100. The deadline for enrollment is May 7, 2010. Enrollment is limited to the first 35 persons who apply. Earning graduate credit is an option.
